Left to right, top to bottom.

Just follow the flow.

The logical flow should be pretty obvious. If it isn't, then the artist is doing a poor job. But generally, the flow is as Coffee says.

well i cant buy much of anything really... *no munnies :(* but really... yaoi? well, i'm not much of a yaoi/slash person~ i like a subtle BL oooor shounen-ai. actually, a lost of peopel misuse the term "yaoi" to mean basically anything from girly guys to actual yaoi to just homosexuals, to stuff in reality.

yaoi is just an idealized version of what fangirls want to see. it's not in any way supposed to represent reality. and it's NOT just BL. some consider hikaru and kaoru from host club to be part of the "yaoi" genre. some consider Yami No Matsuei to be yaoi. i disagree because yaoi is generally more explicit.

woooooooo sorry for the completely off-topic rant there~ :p

so basically, nope~

me = BL/shounen-ai fan
me = no munnies

oh and also, the only doujinshi i read are a choice few on devart~ yeeeeap

*note* if this offended anyone lol please don't hurt me!!! i'm not prejudiced against any of this stuff so don't take it the wrong way if it sounded like i was talking smack on anyone/thing :o

Being a big graphic novel fan, I'd say read it as you'd watch a movie : the picture is sometimes more important than the text. So you have to read both the illustration and text.

I tried Gravitation (at least the Remixes) but I didn't like the amount of rape.

It was somewhat worrying.

Yeah, but unfortunately, rape and domestic violence in the gay community isn't talked about. i'm glad it showed a bit of reality :P

I've realized that Anime/Manga was very reflective of internalized depression within the asian community. Why do all my relatives wanna be light skinned and have big eyes like the European Americans?! (Hence the huge eyes, light skin and blond hair found in many Anime.) That's one reason why I never really go back into it.
